About this facility
Located just west of Green Bay a mile and a half from Ken Euers Nature Area, Adult and Teen Challenge Northeast Wisconsin offers men in Northeast Wisconsin Christian-based substance use treatment along with personal and spiritual growth opportunities. The 12-month program combines a 4-level curriculum, community service, pastoral counseling, relapse prevention strategies, goal formulation, and aftercare.
Curriculum includes the following 4 levels: Accept, Heal, Discover, and Practice. During the acceptance classes, participants learn to recognize unhealthy thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors that may be contributing to substance use and to rely on God’s love. During the healing phase, clients apply what they have learned in the acceptance phase to address unhealthy patterns and take an active role in healthier decision making, thought patterns, and relationships. The discovery level helps participants to replace unhealthy thoughts and behaviors with healthier ones based on God’s design. Finally, clients practice what they have learned by creating personal goals and plans for when they leave the men’s program. During this phase, men look for career and education opportunities to help set them up for success.
Family visits are encouraged, with designated visiting hours available. Weekly community service helps men gain additional life skills and aids in character development. Participants also engage in individual pastor counseling along with other spiritual activities as part of their spiritual and personal growth. Participants can use exercise equipment to promote physical as well as spiritual health. Graduates are encouraged to participate in aftercare, which involves connection with a local church and a recovery group as well as meetings with the aftercare team.
As part of focusing on recovery and spiritual growth, personal electronic devices and smoking are not allowed, but participants will have access to a phone to use during designated hours. Personal vehicles are not allowed, so clients must arrange for transportation to the facility. Interstates 43 and 41 are both within a mile, making family visits and drop off convenient. Because Teen and Adult Challenge is primarily funded by donations, the cost to participate is low compared to many other residential treatment facilities. Please call Teen and Adult Challenge North East Wisconsin for specific rates.
